The Chautauqga Fire.

BUFFALO, March 2l.--A special from
Jamestown says the ire at the Chau.
tauqua Assembly grounds early this
morning destroyed eighty buildings, in
Guiding several large boarding houses.
Among these were the Eckert, Park-
hurst and Allin houses. The total loss
will probably exceed 100000. The fire
spread rapidly to adjoining cottages, and
the lack of fire apparatus and help
favored the flames. About sixty fam.
lilies remain on the grounds during the
winter season. The fire swept every
thing before it, taking both sides Of
Simpson and Summerfi-ld avenues from
the Auditorium to the Hotel Atheneum.
It was with great difficulty that the
hotel was saved.

BISMARCK, March 81. ! Tomorrow
those of the three hundred delayed pas
sengers now here who wish to cross the
river will be transferred in boats. As

repairs will be made to the Northern
Pacific bridge, which can be put in
shape for use in two days. At 10 o'clock
tonight the river is stationary. There
will be but little delay in travel from
now on, whether the weather ST. bsides
or not. People are continually passing

About the only trouble at that place is
the inconvenience occasioned by flooded

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
New York, March 2l.-The World
will say tomorrow that the flight of
Walter E. Lawton, the guano-man, was
probably precipitated by the discovery
of the fact that, after having given
mortgages in 1854 aggregating $500. 300
on some brick clay land at Little Ferry,
New Jersey, where the mortgages re-.
NAMED unrecorded, because of the conf
dence in him, he sold the land March
10th last to the New Jersey and New
York Brick Company, in return for
which he got $50 OF the company's
$1,000 bonds and ST.. 900. COO of its stock,
and to secure the bonds the land was
for the full amount again and
the mortgage recorded.

THE GCANO MAGNATE.
What the Creditors OF Thioi
LuWtOn will Diet.

NEW York, March 2l.---Abraham
King, counsel for a number of creditors
of the missing Walter E. Lawton, the
guano magnate, made the first estimate
to-day that has been attempted, of how
much the creditors will receive out of
the wreck. Attachment, reach total
of $5lO,75l. King thinks the assets
will be about $400, 900, and assumes that
the creditors will receive about IS per
cent Of their claims. He considers
Lawton's Cat tail Island the principal as
set, but this already has $l,250, 900
worth of mortgages. 1t is expected that
the legal battle to determine which of
the various mortgages on the island shall
take precedence will be one of the inter.
esting complications that is certain to
arise out OF this mysterious affair.

ingtop, nephew of G. P. Huntington,
himself Director of the Southern Pa.
cific, has made large land purchase,
consisting of 5000 acres at the Santa
Ysabel ranch, near Templeton, not for
speculation, but he will have it immedi-
diately fenced, cultivated, and made one
of the finest farms in the State. 1t is
decided TO bridge the Salinas at this
point Immediately. A force of men
was set to work this morning to make o
good road from here to Creston. through
the farming region of the Huer Huer
ranch, on which are already large settle
ments which will thus have access to

A MEDDLlNG PHYSICIAN,
who Thinks that Cleveland
Needs His Advice Badly.


WASHINGTON, March 2l.-Dr. u. 7.
Sewers, one of the most prominent ply.
sicians of Washington, in an interview
with reporter to-day, declared that
there is danger that President Cleveland
will not live through his term. unless
there is change in his mode of living.
DR.. Sewers, six months before Manning's
illness, made the same prediction with
regard to the Secretary, and advised his
friends to warn him of his danger. In
an interview to-day Sewers says:
"It may be deemed impertinent to talk
to. the President through newspapers. but
1 know of no other way of reaching
him, and those about him, surely. You
recall ny attempts with the friends of
Manning and their fruits. do not feel
that should take the same chances in
this matter. l am personally apprised
of the Presidents condition, and, while
it is in no sense dangerous, it will not
be long before there will be reason for
alarm. President Cleveland is a large
and tleshy man and since he came to
the White House has gained enormously
in flesh. Now when he lived in Buffalo
it was his habit to take long walks.
Since he came here, however, he has
abandoned every exercise save carriage
riding, and that is of little or no use
with the springs now in use and the
smooth streets for which Washington is
famous. The President is man who
works with his head great deal. he is in
fact an intense brain worker. He is in
other works q plodder and his brain is
consequently filled with an excess of
blood, and what is the result? He
works with his head, eats enorm-
ously and fails to exercise his
muscles; his blood vessels are weak
ened and it is only q question of
time, when in q momont of excitement
he bursts q blood vessel. tell you, at
the rate President Cleveland is now
living there is great danger that he will
not live through his term. Something
should be done to bring him to realize
his danger and take the proper steps to
prevent q result which will surely ensue
if ne fails to take the proper exercise.
What l should recommend would be the
fixing up of a room in the White House
where he could devote half an hour
every day to gymnastic exercise. That
alone, in my opinion, will prevent a
catastrophe, the avoidance of which not
only the President, but the country at
large, is interested in securing.

The More Case. /.

SAN Francisco, March 2l.-Applica.
ton for certiorari and writ of review
in the case of the People VS.. Alexander
P. More was argued in the Supreme
Court this morning by John J. Boyce,
on behalf OF the people and Colonel
Flournoy for the defendant. The matter
was taken under advisement. The
ground upon which the application for
writ is based is that at the time of lssu-
ing the order of dismissal in this case
and discharging More, Hatch was not in
fact the Superior Judge of Santa Bar
bara county, the office having become
vacant by his removal from that place
to the city of Los Angeles some time
